Thank you, Madam Chair. I have already had the benefit of investment from the federal government, partnered with the GNWT, to begin the process. The Taltson and the Slave Geologic Province are both at a point where they can begin the process toward environmental assessments. There is already support from our federal government partners to advance those projects. There is a lot of work that can be done in the course of three years to have them to be at a point where they would be then ready to proceed to a construction stage. A further injection of dollars at this point may not be necessary to actually see that advancement in the life of this government, a very significant advancement in the life of this government.

Beyond that, as far as creating, for example, a business plan for the Taltson and creating a partnership, if it is to be a partnership or a P3, again, that is work. That can go on right now. It doesn't necessarily require an injection of money to do that kind of planning. Similarly, developing partnerships with Indigenous governments who may want an equity share, that kind of engagement does not require an injection of money. Undertaking consultation with impacted areas, that kind of a process is definitely part of the GNWT's work already through EIA and through Indigenous Affairs. That, again, may or may not necessarily involve a significant injection of money. A lot of work can be done in the next three years that will significantly impact the advancement of these projects. We will bring them forward and have them at a stage where they would be ready to proceed with business cases, with partnerships. It is my view that we don't necessarily need to see significant increases to our debt load or certainly irresponsible increases to our debt load. That is not the intention, and it is not necessary to get these things moving. Thank you, Madam Chair.
